King Cemetery - Upper Tyrone Twp.

Transcribed from tombstones by Ken O'Neal

This cemetery is called the KING cemetery from what I have been told, but I did not find any King stones. I found the cemetery April 2007, took pictures of stones I found. Went back in March 2008 and found more stones and was able to read stones I had dug out in 2007. This cemetery is in very bad shape, and apparently part of the cemetery was destroyed when the landowner cleared the land for a house. There are several unmarked fieldstones and several illegible.

Directions: Take the Broadford Road to Owensdale. Turn onto Kings Road (this is a dead end road). Go 0.15 miles to a steep gravel driveway on the left that goes off the road at about a 45º angle. The cemetery is in the woods to the left of house. Get permission at the house. Recorded March 2008.
